The Red Oak Creek Covered Bridge’s longevity is nearly as astounding as the story of its builder, Horace King, part black, part white, part Catawba Indian—a man so far ahead of his time that he wore a soul patch 60 years before anyone heard of jazz.

It doesn’t much matter what I think about Superica and The El Felix, Ford Fry’s two new Tex-Mex restaurants with almost identical menus and almost identical lines. When I asked the manager of The El Felix—in Avalon, the Alpharetta mall-city—how many diners they served, he said, “Three to four hundred on a slow night.”

The story of superstar Girl Scout Morgan Coffey

Almost 80 percent of female business owners, 70 percent of female legislators, and all female astronauts used to be Girl Scouts. That’s fairly compelling evidence that scouting teaches young women to dream big. Want more? Consider Morgan Coffey, a junior at Oglethorpe University.

When Coffey was sixteen, the Dunwoody teen earned her Girl Scout Gold Award (equivalent to the boys’ Eagle Scout) by launching two programs for victims of domestic violence. She discovered that when these women enter hospitals or shelters, their clothing is often confiscated as evidence. That leaves them with nothing to wear when they depart. Coffey launched a project called “Change in a Bag” to provide complete outfits in plastic bags. She also produced brochures with contact information for various community resources. Those two programs grew into a full-scale nonprofit organization, Stronghold Atlanta, which has helped more than 10,000 women in the metro area. Skeptics told her she couldn’t change the world, Coffey said. Her reply? “Watch me.” strongholdatlanta.org
